The Bermuda Triangle

It was a sunny afternoon in 1945. Five American planes were flying over the sea near Florida. Everything was fine. Suddenly, the pilots sent a strange message to their controllers: "This is an emergency. We're lost".

"Fly west", the controllers said. The pilots sent this answer: "Everything is wrong, strange. We aren't sure of any direction. The sea looks different".

Then, the five planes disappeared. The pilots' last words were: "We are completely lost". The controllers sent another plane to look for the pilots. That plane disappeared too.

Soon, people were talking about the "Bermuda Triangle". Strange things happen in this part of the ocean. For example, an American ship called the USS C
yclops disappeared. There were 300 men on the ship. The weather was sunny. The ship did not send any messages. Where did it go? Nobody knows. The Bermuda Triangle is a mystery!

Saint George (or Sant Jordi) is the patron of England but many people don't celebrate it.

2B & C Past Continuous

Welcome back again! I hope you had nice holidays!

Today we are going to work on Unit 6: The PAST CONTINUOUS tense.

1. It is very similar to Present Continuous but instead of using verb to be in present (am/is/are) you have to use the verb to be in past (was + were). The rest is the same. Look at this structure.

Affirmative: Subject + was / were + Verb (-ing)
Example: They were playing football
Ells estaven jugant a futbol.

Negative: Subject + wasn't / weren't + Verb (-ing)
Example: Mary wasn't reading a magazine
Na Maria no estava llegint una revista.

Interrogative: Was / were + Subject + Verb (-ing) ?
Example: Were my cousins dancing?
Els meus cosins estaven ballant?

2. Practice this verbal tense.

Pay attention!!!!: copy on your notebook five sentences from the second exercise.

a) Affirmative form: click HERE and HERE.
b) Negative form: click HERE and HERE.
c) Interrogative form: click HERE.
d) Aff, neg and interr forms: click HERE and HERE.

3. For Corey & Júlia: Read this text and in the blanks write Past SIMPLE or Past CONTINUOUS. Click HERE.
